Who is the better fantasy own – Brad Marchand or TJ Oshie?
Welcome to Cage Match, which I've now officially taken over from Steve Laidlaw. I hope to carry on the outstanding tradition of the column, while also adding some personal touches.
In pitting Brad Marchand against T.J. Oshie, this week's match focuses on two very comparable players who are already solid fantasy contributors. However, along with their respective benefits, each player also has some red flags and question marks that definitely make it useful to do the in depth side-by-side comparison that you've all come to expect from Cage Match.
